At the beginning of 2024, Katt Williams made an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. He sat for a bombshell interview in which he called out several of his fellow comedians along with making several other claims. And they have continued to be a topic of conversation throughout the year.

One of the names that Williams called out during his appearance was that of Steve Harvey. The 53-year-old comedian accused Harvey of alleged dishonesty and revealed what he claimed to be the real reason Harvey quit stand-up comedy.

Sean “Diddy” Combs founded Bad Boy Records in 1993. He helped lift a number of artists to success, but some grew to resent them because of their publishing deals. Several artists complained about the unfairness of their contracts. Rapper Mase was so frustrated that he confronted Diddy during a radio interview and asked to be let out of his contract. He was shocked when Diddy complied, noting that he rarely saw him do good things.

Bad Boy artist Mase tried urgently to get out of his contract with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

While Diddy was being interviewed on an Atlanta radio station, Mase arrived unannounced and asked to be let out of his contract. During a break, they stepped away from microphones, where Diddy signed the document.

“Just be clear [Mase] has the freedom to do whatever he want to do,” Diddy said when he was back on air, per Xxl Magazine. “People...

Rapper 50 Cent is unapologetic about his long-standing criticism of Sean “Diddy” Combs, especially following the mogul’s recent arrest on charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering.

In an exclusive interview with People, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, stated, “It seems like I’m doing some extremely outrageous things, but I haven’t. It’s really me just saying what I’ve been saying for 10 years.” This commentary comes in the wake of Diddy’s legal issues, which include allegations of sexual misconduct and exploitation.

Visiting The Rivalry Between 50 Cent and ‘Diddy’ Combs

The rivalry between the two has been well-documented since it ignited in 2006 when 50 Cent released his diss track “The Bomb.” In this track, he controversially suggested that Diddy might have connections to the murder of Notorious B.I.G. in 1997, a claim that Diddy has consistently denied.

Their feud has played out publicly over the years,...

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs helped catapult Notorious B.I.G. to superstardom while claiming he formed a familial bond with the rapper before his death. However, after Biggie Smalls died, the rapper’s mother didn’t appreciate how Diddy treated her son’s legacy. So much so she was a bit relieved Smalls never got to see the real Diddy.

Although Diddy helped Biggie Smalls break into the music industry, some questioned how the music mogul treated his protégé. Rap artist Mark Curry claimed Smalls was essentially broke after signing to Bad Boy Records because of Diddy’s business tactics. But Smalls’ mom Wallace seemed to think the disrespect came after her son’s death. Wallace felt Diddy excessively used the rapper’s name to profit off him instead of genuinely honoring his legacy.

Raven-Symoné has been acting since she was a little girl, and one of her first starring roles was in the sitcom Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.

The former The View co-host made an appearance on The Talk where she said she is still in close contact with her co-stars Holly Robinson Peete and Mark Curry.

“I am actually super friends with [Robinson Peete] and Mark Curry,” she said on the CBS daytime talk show. “Mark Curry and her have been amazing mentors in my life. And to be able to be on the set with them at seven years old and they go, ‘Go in your room, this is adults talking,’ and now they’re like, ‘Come here, let me tell you what happened.’ It makes me very happy.”

Nofx wrapped up their farewell tour with three gigs at Berth 46 in San Pedro, California, over the weekend, including their final show ever on Sunday (October 6th). For the very last gig, the veteran punk band played a marathon 33-song set that included notable guest appearances.

All three shows featured festival-style lineups, beginning with sets in the early afternoon. Sunday’s lineup included Fishbone, Subhumans, The Flatliners, Codefendants, Frank Turner, The Vandals, and Pennywise, leading up to Nofx’s headlining set.

Among the special guests during Nofx’s Sunday set was former Mighty Mighty Bosstones guitarist and current record executive/producer Nate Albert on the song “180 Degrees.” A couple songs later, Rancid singer-guitarist Tim Armstrong joined Nofx for a cover of Rancid’s “Radio.”

During the encore, Nofx covered Bad Religion’s “We’re Only Gonna Die” with that band’s Brett Gurewitz and Jay Bentley. And the final song of the night,...

50 Cent has found a home for his documentary series on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sexual assault allegations. As first reported by Variety, the project has landed at Netflix. What’s more, the doc has expanded in scope to Diddy’s recent federal sex crime charges.

Alexandria Stapleton will direct and serve as executive producer for House of Nonfiction. 50 Cent will executive produce through his G-Unit Film & Television banner.

Stapleton previously helmed the Netflix documentary Hello, Privilege. It’s Me, Chelsea; FX’s docuseries Pride; and a 2023 Reggie Jackson documentary titled Reggie.

Netflix is producing a docuseries from Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson about charges of sex trafficking and racketeering as well as sexual assault and violent abuse allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Alexandria Stapleton directs the project, which is currently in production.

“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said in an exclusive statement to Variety. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”

It’s no news that Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been facing multiple s-xual assault allegations and criminal charges for a few months now, has been arrested. He first made headlines in November 2023 when his ex, Casandra Ventura aka Cassie, filed a shocking lawsuit alleging that the music mogul r-ped and s-x trafficked her during a decade of abuse.

Since then, numerous other revelations have also surfaced, making the headlines even more explosive. Following his arrest, longtime friend Mark Curry has now come forward to share insider stories about the situation.

Mark Curry Exposes Gnarly Details About Diddy

Sean “Diddy” Combs signed Christopher Wallace — also known as the Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie — in the first year of his record label, Bad Boy. The pair continued to work together up until Biggie’s death in 1997. Two decades after the rapper’s murder, Diddy admitted he felt a level of responsibility for his death. He shared what he wished he could have changed.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs said he had regrets about the Notorious B.I.G.’s death

In 1997, Biggie was killed in a drive-by shooting that still remains unsolved. Diddy admitted that he felt some guilt about this.

“I think I’ll always feel some sort of responsibility because I’m in this thing with him,” he said on The Wendy Williams Show in 2017 (via ABC News). “He’s my artist.”

He added...

When Christopher Wallace — also known as the Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie — signed to Bad Boy Records, he helped Sean “Diddy” Combs’ new label rise. He was an incredibly successful and influential artist and he began raking in money for the label. According to some sources, though, he wasn’t making nearly as much as he could have been. Diddy held his publishing rights and refused to give them up.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs refused to give up Biggie’s publishing rights

Towards the end of his life, Biggie reportedly began making plans to leave Bad Boy Records. He had a contract that gave Diddy half his publishing rights, which other artists with the label believed was incredibly unfair.

Kim Porter’s father is stepping forward to say he felt sickened when he saw Sean “Diddy” Combs shove, kick, stomp, and drag former partner Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in a brutal beating captured on recently unearthed hotel surveillance video.

Speaking by phone on Friday, Jake Porter says the shocking video obtained by CNN left him with a nagging concern over what his daughter may have experienced during her time with the music mogul before she died of lobar pneumonia in 2018.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s outsized beef with his rap game rival is leaping to streaming giant Netflix, who has won a bidding war, according to Jackson, for a docuseries his company produced on beleaguered rapper-mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Netflix’s apparent triumph in the battle for the series, which was produced by Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Production Studios, was announced on Jackson’s Instagram account in a Tuesday night post captioned by the “In Da Club” rapper.

“ok guys we’re all making good television mines just happens to be the best!” he wrote, in part, alongside a split image of him and Diddy. “Netflix wins the bidding war but if more victims keep coming out … I’m gonna need more episodes.” [sic]

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Netflix to confirm the series, as well as reps for 50 Cent.

TMZ was first to report that the docuseries will...

Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson’s Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted isn’t the sort of “important” documentary that generally wins awards, but it’s a fine example of something even rarer: a documentary that draws its voice and aesthetic from the spirit of its subject, resulting in a tight 97 minutes that feel organic and satisfying and, as befits that subject, appealingly odd.

When it comes to Swamp Dogg, I’m not sure if there’s a middle ground between “Who?!?” and “Swamp Dogg is the Best!!!” though perhaps Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted will create an appreciative warmth in that space.

Swamp Dogg has acquired his position as a musical cult icon by virtue of an astonishing adjacency to fame that dates back to his first recorded song in 1954. In the subsequent 70 years, he’s been signed to, recorded for, and even been an executive at possibly dozens of labels.

Listening to three hours of Katt Williams can’t be easy, but some sound bites from a recent interview have made the waves, triggering a response from his targets, including Ice Cube, Kevin Hart and Cedric the Entertainer.

In Katt Williams’ viral interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast, the comedian targeted the aforementioned comedians with various claims. The most damning is that Williams maintains that his Friday After Next character, Money Mike (a pimp…), was originally supposed to be raped, which he insisted on cutting. Ice Cube, who produced, wrote and starred in the movie, had a different recollection, saying Williams didn’t have as much influence as he remembered. “We do what we feel…and if it was a rape scene it woulda been in the movie. There was no reason not to shoot it. But that’s not my style. I don’t even like that kind of sh*t in movies.

50 Cent will executive produce an upcoming documentary about the sexual assault allegations swirling around Sean “Diddy” Combs. What’s more, proceeds from the documentary “will go to victims of sexual assault and rape,” according to the rapper.

Confirmed by G-Unit Films and Television, the production company founded by 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson), the new documentary will detail Combs’ record of alleged predatoary behavior, and will present new accusations regarding his alleged pattern of harassment and assault against women.

The documentary arrives as Combs finds himself at the center of a number of new sexual assault allegations. Last month, he was sued by his former girlfriend and label signee, the singer Cassie, for rape and years of repeated physical abuse, which ended in a settlement one day later. Since that, though, a number of additional suits have been filed, accusing Combs of heinous acts, such as distributing “revenge porn” and...

Two employees of a Colorado Wyndham hotel who were accused by comedian Mark Curry of racially profiling him have been suspended.

Both employees seen in a 26-minute video shared by Curry on his Instagram account on Friday have been suspended pending a full investigation, said a spokesperson for The Mining Exchange in Colorado Springs, which is a franchise of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.

“We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for all guests and employees,” said a statement, initially provided to NBC News. “We deeply regret this incident and have reached out to Mr. Curry to offer not only our sincere apologies but a full refund of his stay and an invitation to return, at no cost, anytime in the future.

Paul Kovacich was found guilty of murdering his wife, Janet Kovacich. Pic credit: CA Dept. of Corrections

Deadly Sins: No Forgiveness is investigating the murder of Janet Kovacich, who was killed by her husband in Placer County, California, in 1982.

Paul had been a Placer County Sheriff’s Deputy, and the young couple lived with their two children in Auburn, CA. The investigators would later learn that Janet had been trapped in an abusive and controlling marriage.

The police believe that Paul murdered his wife because she had wanted to leave him. Janet disappeared on September 8, 1982, but unfortunately, it took over 25 years for Paul to be brought to justice.

Janet’s whereabouts remained unknown until 1995 when part of her skull was found in nearby Lake Rollins with an obvious bullet hole. It took ten years to identify the skull, at which point Paul was placed in custody.

If you find yourself feeling nostalgic about the bygone era of television, the comedy series “In The Cut” is unmissable. It’s a feel-good sitcom that ends up hurting your cheeks with all the smiling.

“In The Cut” centers around a barbershop owner, Jay “The Dream” Weaver (played by Dorien Wilson), who accidentally fathered a child around 30 years ago in a brief fling. When the son, Kenny (played by Ken Lawson) grows up, he seeks his father. We see a beautifully budding relationship of the father-son duo and how they learn to navigate life and work together.

The cast also includes Dorion Renaud, John Marshall Jones, Laura Hayes, Chastity Dotson, and Kalita Smith playing great characters that never fail to tickle your funny bones.

HBO Max has inked with deal with corporate sibling Warner Bros Television to stream Season 2 of the current OWN drama David Makes Man along with five ’90s-era Black-themed series: Hangin” with Mr. Cooper, In the House, The Jamie Foxx Show, Martin and The Parent ‘Hood.

All six series are available now on the streamer.

Season 2 of of OWN’s David Makes Man finds thirtysomething David (Kwame Patterson) as a rising businessman facing an opportunity that will change him and his community forever. The mounting pressure forces David to choose between the instincts that helped him survive or finding a new way to truly live. Arlen Escarpeta, Akili McDowell, Alana Arenas, Travis Coles and Cayden K. Williams also star.

Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper, which aired from 1992-97 on ABC, stars Mark Curry as a former college basketball superstar and ultimate prankster, who also happens to be the coolest substitute teacher around.

Sports stories have traditionally belonged to the movies. Something about the rhythms of competition, in which an athlete or team trains, plays, and then either wins or loses, is a natural fit for the film world’s three act structure.

Television, with its multiple episodes and seasons, is often more discursive and therefore less viable for truly great sports stories. Thankfully, that all seems poised to change. While some sports TV shows have found success in the past, now the medium has really kicked things up a notch. Sports stories like Brockmire, Ted Lasso, Cobra Kai, and more are not only welcome on television, but an essential part of the cable and streaming landscape.

The audience of “The Masked Singer” may have had their say, but our Derbyites are determined to have their voices heard about what went down on the Season 3 finale. They voted in our poll and a surprising 57% of our readers say the coveted Golden Mask should have gone to pop star Jesse McCartney, who competed as the Turtle. That’s over 20 points more than those who thought Kandi Burruss (Night Angel) was rightfully crowned the winner, which totaled 35% of our respondents. Only 8% believed that the trophy should have gone to Bow Wow (Frog). Do you agree with our readers that McCartney was robbed? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.

Exclusive: More than three years ago, Netflix successfully opened a new area of original programming, the family sitcom, with a reboot of Warner Bros TV’s Tgif comedy Full House. The sequel series was a breakout hit, tapping into nostalgia for those who had grown up with the original series while also drawing a new generation of viewers.

That success was probably not lost on WarnerMedia executives as they are prepping the launch of a streaming platform to rival Netflix and have been discussing with Warner Bros TV brass library titles they can exploit for the new service.

I hear the WarnerMedia streamer is eyeing reboots of other Wbtv-produced classic Tgif comedies, like Step by Step, Perfect Strangers, its spinoff Family Matters, as well as Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.
